• Abstract:
  This project realized these advantages through the development of a B-WIM system (Figure 1) that included extensive experimental testing followed by field validation on in-service bridges. In addition, the project developed an approach to identify bridge parameters from the B-WIM data, such as distribution factors and composite action, which were used for site-specific load ratings.
